And herewith another contender for the Hall Of shame 'Grot Books' award:
Penguin History of Modern China - a sample paragraph is reproduced here with the line breaks as they appear on my 505 liseuse:
With their eyes on the territory's gold, iron ore
and coal deposits, and its strategic position on the
Soviet border, the Japanese encouraged an auto
nomist movement in Mongo liatorebel against
Chine serule.....
Yes, that is how it appeared; no hyphens, strange separations and elisions.
In the first 287 or 797 pages, I'm encountering mangled paragraphs such as the above roughly every 10 pages.
I've emailed Penguin about this. Will post any response I get.
(I have offered to strip the drm off, correct the text and send it back if they'll pay for my time. tongue in cheek, moi?)
